Help yourself and the whole community by logging an aircraft noise complaint 1800 802 584 (Put this number in your mobile phone and call each time you get woken up or the next morning) If you don't call nothing will be done about it!

Ban on Shopping Bags Carried on the Sunshine Community Bus
Saturday, 23 July 2005
SunRRA Media Release - Ban on Grocery Bags
The Brimbank City Council has banned shopping bags and library books on the Sunshine Community bus service for the elderly. The Sunshine Residents and Ratepayers Association (SunRRA) has researched how these changes compare with other Council’s O.H. & S. policies for the same service. SunRRA’s research shows that Brimbank appears to be the only council in all of Melbourne to introduce such harsh and draconian measures.

Brimbank Proposed Draft Budget 2005-2006
Sunday, 05 June 2005

Brimbank Council has announced an increased expenditure on capital works of over 11 million dollars from last years budget. Sunshine Residents and Ratepayers Association (SunRRA), welcomes this additional expenditure on much need works not limited to, but including 6 new Youth Skate Parks, Sydenham interactive learning centre additional funding, the Sunshine Swim and Leisure Centre additional funding, and an increase of 2.3 million on capital road work improvements from last year.

The total additional capital works expenditure increase form last year is 11.273 million.

What is concerning to SunRRA is the reduction in community service activity costs of over 21 million with an increase of council organisational costs that do not directly benefit the community of over 10 million, for a net reduction in overall activity costs of services of over 11 million dollars. Which just so happens to be the amount council needed to find to fund the additional capital works program.

SunRRA believes the increased capital works program is overdue and extremely important and needed but not at the cost of reduced services to the community.

Intimidation at Council Meetings
Thursday, 02 June 2005

Marilyn Duncan
CEO Brimbank City Council
Municipal Offices
Alexandra Ave
Sunshine, Vic., 3020

2 June 2005
Dear Marilyn,
Re: Intimidation at Council Meetings
I am writing to you on behalf of the Sunshine Residents and Ratepayers Association (SunRRA) members. We would like to lodge a formal complaint regarding Council meeting procedures and security.

I and many of our members who attended a Brimbank Council meeting on 24/5/05 were shocked to witness a man whose behavior to an innocent female attendee was angry, rude, confrontational and abusive. In the end the innocent victim was forced to ask you, as CEO, for protection and to be escorted to her car.

The man believed the woman had said something untoward while many witnesses agreed that she did not say anything. In fact the lady who did say something tried to clarify this but the gentleman was angry beyond reason and would not hear of it.
It was disappointing to learn that the man in question is Mayor Natalie Suleyman's father. Even more disappointing is the news that he is a State Government Representative and employee who regularly attends Council meetings in that capacity with other similarly employed colleagues.
